Axelrodis

[Tropicalfishfn]

I got some questions.

1. Were are some sites for some good info on them ?

2. How big of a tank do you need

3. Are they hard to care for

4. Do you have to pic them up in a special kinda way. I have seen pics and some look like they have pointy spikes or somthing.

I tried searching "axelrodis" in google but haven't got much of the "axelrodis" I want. Could u tell me what it is exactly or can u find a picture of it?

I've seen an Axolotles today at a pet shop. It's white, with 4 little legs, just like an tadpole but of course it's not a tadpole. Very cute indeed. However, I can't find any information on it when searching with googles as well.

Axelrodis. Nom commun : cardinalis, néon cardinalis, tétra cardinal, néon rouge... So thats not what your looking for a neon tetra


Feline is correct, I think below is what you are looking for...Hope this helps




Ambystoma mexicanum or know as Axolotles ........

Thanks for the information, Crusty!

Those axolotles r amazing creatures! But my tank will be way too small for them coz even for now it's getting a bit overcrowded already. I guess I'll have to dump the idea then
